Hi AA
Nice photo.
I think Brown HE, not Singing HE.
The fine-ness of the beak for one thing indicates that.
Singing, (even juveniles) ought have some black face marking.
.
Size should be your best clue, but you alone can judge that.
Cheers

Hi AA
.
To put your mind further at rest, have a look at this blog from a fellow Nature Blogger - Tyto Tony.
This post is mostly about Shining Bronze Cuckoos, but he also put uip a "juvenile Brown Honeyeater".
It is a perfect match for your bird.
